Sleep out, wake up to change! 💡 This November, we're stepping out from the comfort of our homes to feel the chill of the real world. ❄️ The UK leadership team at ManpowerGroup is swapping their beds for sleeping bags as part of Centrepoint’s Big Sleep Out - spotlighting the staggering stats and unforgiving reality of youth homelessness in the UK. Every 4 minutes, a young person becomes homeless in the UK and almost 136,000 young people are homeless or at risk of homelessness. We believe in the power of employment to rewrite their stories, bring back lost hope and work towards a future devoid of homelessness. This might be one night for us, but it's a glimmer of hope for many. 💪 Every penny helps, donate here: https://bit.ly/4dwX8n1

🌿 Finding balance in life is key to inner calm and peace. If something feels off, it’s a sign to pause and reflect. Maybe you're thriving in your career or friendships, but other areas like your romantic relationship or health need attention. Taking time to reflect helps you realign and focus where it's needed. In our latest #PeopleFirst episode, host Jordan sits down with special guest Freeha Ahmad, Life Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Owner of the Freeha Coaching Academy, discussing the importance of establishing boundaries within work and in our personal lives, the power in saying no and their opinions on hustle culture.
